Glance: It’s been a strange season to follow for both of these teams. For Creekside, an 0-3 start was followed by a 3-0 run, including 2-0 in district. At that point, the Knights seemed to be a lock for the postseason, and possibly a real threat to compete for a district title. They had their offense back on track (48-14 win over Episcopal; 36-7 victory over Menendez) and real footing in the race with wins over Palatka and the Falcons. On Oct. 19, however, Creekside fell 14-7 to Matanzas and threw the entire postseason picture into chaos. A 20-0 loss to Ponte Vedra the following week wasn’t a major setback, but it means the Knights have scored only seven points in two weeks. All of that will be an afterthought if Creekside can stop the county’s leading rusher Ulysses Bryant and pick up a win over Nease. A victory will put the Knights in the postseason thanks to their victory over Palatka, and Palatka’s over Nease. For Nease to lock up a playoff spot, it must beat Creekside and hope Matanzas knocks off Palatka. So, in other words, this is a one-game season for both teams and one Nease will need additional help to celebrate. ... The running game really hasn’t been the issue for Creekside. The problem, in short, has been passing. Adam Sandin is completing less than half of his passes and has more interceptions (six) than touchdowns (four). He only threw for 20 yards against Ponte Vedra last week. ... The book on Nease is easy to read. Bryant is a dominant force, and coming off back-to-back 200-yard rushing games, is pretty much unstoppable right now. His speed is going to pose a major problem for Creekside. Outside of a 16-10 win over Middleburg, Nease has outscored its other four opponents 168-39 — including a 37-14 win over Matanzas. A win here would be coach Shane Matthews’ biggest to date. ... This game last season was one of the year’s best. With a playoff spot up for grabs, Creekside stopped Nease’s two-point conversion in overtime to secure a 24-23 win.
